She's never heard of the Kardashians. "Twilight" jokes are lost on her. The first time she sees an iPhone, she assumes it's Ancient tech, and he has to turn aside to cover the way it knocks the breath out of him.
Elizabeth has been gone for almost eight years, and now that she's found them John's prepared to catch her up on all the important stuff she's missed, the births and marriages and divorces. But it's the small, stupid things, the things neither of them even cares about, that throw him for a loop. She missed so much. He missed so much. It's not a matter of catching up. They're strangers now

I HAVE TOO MANY FEELS RIGHT NOW TO MAKE WORDS. This is beautiful and tragic and sweet and I love that she's alive and a foreign power and that yeah, tons of time has passed, and things have changed but John hasn't and there's no happy ever after but there's a happy few minutes every now again and that's better than nothing. Guh, this is way better than my prompt deserves! FEELINGS!
Thanks! Yeah, it occurred to me that I haven't seen many fics where Elizabeth returned to Atlantis as anything but a supplicant. I wish I had time to write a longer version of Elizabeth and her Orphan Robot Pirate Army, but alas.
I’ve just found this many years late. It’s lovely and different to other Elizabeth returns fics that I’ve read. Very emotional. Thank you. I’m enjoying a nostalgia binge of Atlantis right now.
